Themanufacturer does not accept any liability for damagescaused by disregarding the entire documentation.

2.1 Intended use• Only use the pump to pump the agreed pumped liquids

(→ order data sheet).

• Adhere to the operating limits.

• Avoid dry running:– Make sure the pump is only operated with, and never

without, pumped liquid.

• Avoid cavitation:– Fully open the suction-side fitting and do not use it to

adjust the flow rate.– Open the pressure-side fitting completely.

• Avoid damage to the motor:– Note the maximum permissible number of times the

motor can be switched on per hour (→ manufacturer'sspecifications).

• Consult the manufacturer about any other use of the pump.

• When a pump is delivered without a motor, the pump unitmust be completed in accordance with the stipulations ofmachine directive 2006/42/EC.

Prevention of obvious misuse (examples)• Note the operating limits of the pump with regard to tem-

perature, pressure, viscosity, flow rate and motor speed(→ order data sheet).

• When using auxiliary systems, ensure there is a continuoussupply of the appropriate operating medium.

Observe the manufacturer's instructions when using adhe-sive anchors.

3. Set the pump unit down on the foundation. When doingso, sink the foundation bolts into the prepared anchoringholes.

32 1 2

Fig. 8 Installation with foundation

4. Use steel washers to align the pump unit to the height andsystem dimensions as described below:– Place a steel washer (2) to the left and right-hand side

of each foundation bolt (1).– If the distance between the anchoring holes is greater

than 750 mm, place additional steel washers (3) in themiddle, on each side of the base plate.

5. Make sure the steel washers lie flat against the base plate,in full contact.

6. Use the integrated spirit level to check the maximum allow-able tilt of 1 mm/m (end-to-end and side-to-side).

7. Repeat the procedure until the base plate is correctlyaligned.

Fastening the pump unit

The damping behavior is improved by filling the base platewith mortar grout.

1. Fill the anchoring holes with mortar grout.2. When the mortar grout has set, screw down the base plate

at three points with the specified torque.3. Before tightening the remaining bolts, compensate for any

unevenness in the surface using metal spacing shims nextto each bolt.

4. Check the pump unit for any distortion with a straightedge:

– Measure in two planes at an angle of 90° on the cir-cumference of the coupling.

– Check the light gap on the outer diameter using astraightedge (1):Position the straightedge across both halves of thecoupling.If there is significant deviation, undo the fixing to thebase plate and correct the distortion by inserting moreshims.

– Fill the inside of the base plate with concrete, ifintended. Knock on the base plate to ensure that nocavities are created in the process.

Couplings with a spacer piece (dismountable coupling) canalso be checked with a dial gauge.

6.1 Putting the pump into servicefor the first time

6.1.1 Removing the preservativeOnly necessary for pumps treated for storage.

(→ 4.4 Removing the preservative, Page 16).

6.1.2 Preparing auxiliary systems (if available)

The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damagecaused by installing or using a third-party or unapprovedauxiliary system.

tions).4. Make sure the parameters required for the installed sealing

system are met (→ 9.2.8 Pressure and temperature limitsfor heating/quenching, Page 45).

5. Ensure that the permissible container pressure is notexceeded on blocking pressure systems (→ manufac-turer's specifications).

ing measures before starting it up again:– Replace the elastomer seals (O-rings, shaft seal rings).– Replace the antifriction bearings.– If necessary: Replace the motor bearing (→ operating

manual of the motor manufacturer).2. Carry out all steps as for the initial start-up (→ 6.1 Putting

Maintenance

7 Maintenance


Trained service technicians are available for fitting andrepair work. Present a pumped liquid certificate (DINsafety data sheet or safety certificate) when requestingservice.

7.1 InspectionsThe inspection intervals depend on the operational strainon the pump.


Do not touch the running pump.Do not carry out any work on the running pump.Allow the pump to cool down completely before starting anywork.



1. Check at appropriate intervals:– Temperature of antifriction bearings < 120 °C– Normal operating conditions unchanged– Check whether the pressure relief valve is working

2. For trouble-free operation, always ensure the following:– No dry running– No leaks– No cavitation– Suction-side gate valves open– Unclogged and clean filters– Sufficient suction pressure– No unusual running noises or vibrations– No excessive leakage at the shaft seal– Proper functioning of auxiliary systems

7.2 MaintenanceService life of the antifriction bearings for operation withinthe permissible operating range: > 2 yearsIntermittent operation, high temperatures and aggressiveambient and process conditions reduce the service life ofantifriction bearings.

Mechanical seals are subject to natural wear, whichstrongly depends on the respective operating conditions.Therefore, general statements regarding their service lifecannot be made.

Maintenance of special versions of shaft seals, bearings orsealing or auxiliary operating systems (→ supplier docu-mentation).


Do not touch the running pump.Do not carry out any work on the running pump.Allow the pump to cool down completely before starting anywork.Isolate the motor from its supply voltage and secure itagainst being switched back on again when carrying outany fitting or maintenance work.



WARNINGRisk of injury and poisoning due to hazardous or hotpumped liquids!

Use protective equipment when carrying out any work onthe pump.Allow the pump to cool down completely before commenc-ing any work.Make sure the pump is depressurized.Empty the pump and safely collect the pumped liquid.Dispose of it in accordance with environmental rules andrequirements.

650.0002 GB – 550 411 BA-2011.02 SN..ER.. Series 29

Maintenance

7.2.1 Antifriction bearingHorizontal pumps on the base plate can be relubricatedduring operation.

1. As a precautionary measure, replace the antifriction bear-ing every 2 years (recommended).

2. Relubricate the antifriction bearings which are capa-ble of relubrication (version E, LB) (→ 9.2.4 Lubricants,Page 44).– Grease nipple in the bearing cover– Lubricate until new grease comes out of the antifriction

bearing.

7.2.2 Mechanical sealsMechanical seals have functional leaks (→ manufacturer'sspecifications).

In the event of major leaks: Replace the mechanical sealand its auxiliary seals.

7.2.3 Stuffing boxThe stuffing box must always leak slightly to carry the fric-tional heat away.Larger leaks in the initial hours of operation lessen duringthe running-in period.

If there is increased leakage: Gently tighten the hexagonnuts on the stuffing box flange.

7.2.4 Shaft seal ringsObserve the arrangement of the shaft seal rings, support-ing washers and spacer rings.

In the event of major leaks: Replace the shaft seal rings.– Apply antifriction bearing grease to the sealing lips of

the shaft seal rings.– Fill the space between the shaft seal rings with antifric-

tion bearing grease.

7.2.5 Cleaning the pump

NOTEHigh water pressure or spray water can damage bearings!

Do not clean bearing areas with a water or steam jet.

Clean large-scale grime from the pump.

7.3 Repairs


Do not touch the running pump.Do not carry out any work on the running pump.Allow the pump to cool down completely before starting anywork.Isolate the motor from its supply voltage and secure itagainst being switched back on again when carrying outany fitting or maintenance work.



WARNINGRisk of injury and poisoning due to hazardous or hotpumped liquids!

Use protective equipment when carrying out any work onthe pump.Allow the pump to cool down completely before commenc-ing any work.Make sure the pump is depressurized.Empty the pump, safely collect the pumped liquid and dis-pose of it in accordance with environmental regulations.

WARNINGRisk of injury due to heavy components!

Pay attention to the component weight. Lift and transportheavy components using suitable lifting gear.Set down components safely and secure them againstoverturning or rolling away.
